This is an interesting mon, as it works extremely effectively as a TR setter due to both its ability and its item. It all has potential to lure certain pokemon on (such as Xatu) and set up a free TR in the process. It's kinda pointless outside of TR though, so it's pretty specialised. Still not bad though :3. Even though most people don't run TR, this pokemon is a super effective lead for setting it up without any issues.

Okay, yeah, I've already posted this and such, but I thought I'd bring it to attention again due to the mega split recently. One of the major pokemon to come down to NU and dominate is Steelix, which is not even scratched by the normal Mawile sets; however, this set not only dents it but STOPS it being able to switch in safely at all:
232+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Mawile Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Steelix: 239-283 (67.5 - 79.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Along with destroying Steelix, it also does all of the things listed in my other post such as beating its counters/checks (bar fire types).

EDIT:
So I've been using a 'mon recently that wasn't one that I actually made (it was made by Krookies some time a go) but it puts in some serious work when used properly; scarf Ludicolo. This thing pairs as both a great surprise revenge killer and an anti-rain pokemon, doing both pretty well due to the great grass+water STAB coverage it naturally gets.
Ludicolo @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain/Energy Ball
- Ice Beam
- Scald/Hydro Pump
- Focus Blast
The IV's and nature allow it to outspeed Swellow, Sceptile and other fast mons whilst the moves used are really just standard for a 'colo set.
Some calculations:
252 SpA Ludicolo Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Swellow: 266-314 (101.9 - 120.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Ludicolo Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Tauros: 304-358 (104.4 - 123%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Ludicolo Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Pinsir: 136-162 (50.1 - 59.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 SpA Ludicolo Ice Beam vs. 172 HP / 0 SpD Sceptile: 176-208 (54.3 - 64.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
